[CT Birds] RUFF at Grace Salmon Park, Westport

[Nick Bonomo]

Frank Mantlik just called with news that he was looking at a
female-type RUFF at Grace Salmon Park in Westport, which is along the
Saugatuck River. It was associating with both yellowlegs species. As
we were talking (7:18am), it was flushed along with the yellowlegs by
the rising tide. However Frank mentioned that they would probably stay
in the area and were just relocating to another nearby mudflat or
river edge. He had to get to work so he won't be able to keep tabs on
it.
